Being “too much” hits different when you realize people only said it because they couldn’t keep up. This isn’t a “love yourself” Pinterest quote — this is emotional truth-telling with volume, boundaries, delusion, and clarity… all tangled together like your last situationship.
In this episode of Twin Tangents, Anthony and Nalee unpack the hard-earned lessons that came from red flags, gut feelings, failed friendships, bad boys, burnout, and the glow-up that follows once you stop shrinking to fit someone else’s comfort zone.
We’re diving into:
🔥 “You’re Not Too Much — They’re Not Enough” → unlearning shame, reclaiming your energy, and realizing your high standards aren’t the problem
🚩 Red Flags Are NOT DIY Projects → the bad boy phase, teenage delusions, trying to fix people who aren’t broken — just unavailable
💬 “You’re a Lot” vs. “You’re Too Much” → tone, intention, delivery, and how the right people can handle your personality without dimming it
🔒 Not Everyone Deserves Access to You → blocked lists, cup-filling friendships, convenience connections, and who actually shows up when you go silent
🧍♀️ Alone vs. Lonely → solitude as strength, being your own backup plan, and learning to trust your reality over your brain’s made-up doomsday scenarios
🧠 Control, Response, and Safety → how your nervous system lies to you, how to spot real vs. imagined threats, and why boundaries aren’t mean — they’re maintenance
Plus: teenage disasters, bad boy nostalgia, serial killer tangents, anxiety flashbacks, HR pranks, and the existential chaos of realizing you were the main character even when you were losing.
🥂 Real-Talk Reminder:
You don’t need to be “low maintenance,” “easy,” or “chill” to be worthy. You don’t need to fix people. You don’t need to keep everyone in your life. And you definitely don’t need to apologize for being a lot — the right people will love you exactly as you are.
Raise a glass to the boundaries you built, the lessons that bruised, and the version of you that stopped shrinking. You’re not too much — you’re finally too wise for the wrong people. 💅
A calm, grounding welcome that rejects “new year, new you” energy and invites listeners to breathe, settle in, and show up exactly as they are.
A preview of January’s themes—identity shifts, seasonal funks, spicy rants, and the joy of not having it all together.
A warm, humorous reminder to follow, review, and share the show—because community keeps the messy conversations going.
A soft motivational pause that reminds listeners growth doesn’t have to be loud, productive, or linear to count.
A gentle send-off reminding listeners that growth can be quiet, boundaries can be subtle, and change doesn’t need an audience.
